A combination of my dearest puppins, Theo, and a case of the blues has left me unable to do anything creative for months and months.
Theo became a part of the family in late July. He takes a lot more looking after than I had anticipated:
For Christmas, I made him a coat for colder weather, which he has worn a couple of times and peed on once. It’s not perfect (it’s hard to try to fit a toile to a cheeky puppy), but it gave me the opportunity to use a sewing machine again after so many years. If I ever get a good enough picture of his coat then I shall post that up here.
I have been rather horrendous - there was no Christmas card, and no birthday cards for months (as I said: Blues). I was reluctantly persuaded to make a little birthday card for my Dad’s birthday. I was told that the card was an important component of the present because I can’t really afford to buy much. I used a little “inspiration sketch” I had made a long time ago and reworked it a few times. Yet another tiny card:
Hopefully, it won’t be such a long time as this before the next post.
